21/06/2023 - New EP; Hopelessly In The Water

Another House EP and more club vibes for you. It is a vocal House EP and a bit different to how I usually make them with fewer instruments and more bass which seems to make it better anyway. I’ve made lots of EPs and albums over the years and playing the keyboard and doing it by hand and I’m struggling to come up with something new for my House tracks so it does make it easier. I called it hopelessly in the water as I do see and hear a lot of people struggling in the water and sit there in silence and don’t take action or say anything. Some people do it out of spite and put up with it just to satisfy themselves which is okay if you want to be like that. Anyway, less of that it’s summer now and even though it’s not so hot I’m still feeling the sunny days and late nights and the early morning 4.00 AM light I love dusk and dawn it just feels so nice and eerie or brand new. It’s a good time for walking I love to walk at night all night and sometimes end up in the longest places to get home some of them are like “Yeah we are definitely going to need the bus back.” The actual saviour in the scenario cos I don’t drive and have never driven a car cos I can’t keep up with the bills and maintenance of it all but I wished I could I would end up in the most random places. I used to end up in Weston Super Mare a lot which is about an hour away maybe an hour and a half and is a sea and sand sort of. I stopped going there as it was too far the bus takes ages and by the time I get there I’m unsure what to do it’s all spontaneous combustion and I’m in town like where now? I still don’t know what I’m going to do this summer I want to do or do something and not be stuck indoors all day and night better hope I don’t have a good idea for my next project cos I always think of something good to do other than make music. I like to make things for my website and do seasonal and non-seasonal stuff which is and isn’t interactive but I like to make interactive stuff which can all be found here on my website, I did have two websites but it was costly so I decided to put all my stuff on website as it made more sense as well.  I’m looking for new foundations and want to get out there more and discover the world again but I have a mental illness and problems it’s not that easy but I do have some things lined up to get me fitter and a bit more out there in the world I love doing stuff with people and interacting and coming up with some whacky idea and I hope to put that all back in motion but I like to put things to practice and be part of something big it’s in my nature and has always been.

Music News – New Album; 6 Pack Remixes II

07/06/2023 - New Album; Six Pack Remixes II

Another House remix album of new tracks I made within the last couple of months and I fancied doing another remix album as I wasn’t happy with the other one, but I mean it was okay. This is going to be a recurring album of remixes that makes the change from the original tracks and I love making remixes so expect a lot more in the future but every now and then. I called it six-pack remixes as they are meant to be better than the originals but I can’t get it right every time so it’s give and take. It’s kind of funny as I was quite a fit person with a six-pack showing and now it’s just flab but I think it’s important to be happy with whatever you got and try not to feed into the negative of the media but I’m a man so I have no idea what’s it’s like for the ladies and being bombarded with ad after ad it must be bad. I always say it’s the mind that must be fit never mind the body and arms or whatever as being healthy in the mind is better than going to the gym but I must admit I do need some sort of exercise routine. I used to walk a lot and people complain that I walk too fast but I like to get there without all the slowing down and the hold-ups, I wouldn’t mind starting swimming again or hiking. I must admit without a dog I hardly go out for walks as I used to be adventurous and more active but now I like to sit at home and be on my computer, I guess the computer has turned me lazy in a way but I must get out of it and start looking into the world instead of being at home 24/7 but at least I’m entertained right. I’ve been making lots of House and Jungle/Drum & Bass in the last couple of weeks and I am getting ready for the summer ahead. It’s already been gorgeous weather I’ve been using my fan to keep cool as living in a flat can get quite hot it’s like being upstairs in a House when the heating has been on but I love the heat but at the same time I like being cool which is why I bought the fan in the first place but pricy with the electric though.  My favourite pastime is listening to summer tracks when it’s hot and I love to listen to certain tracks around summer time hopefully, this album will help you cool off this summer no matter what you are doing. Music has always been a summer thing and is funny how many good times I have had with summer music it’s all about making memories and having a good summer but granted not every summer is going to be a good one. I will be releasing more House tracks throughout summer and some Jungle/Drum & Bass and also some synthy stuff all in the waiting room and ready to be released but some are already been green light so look out for that in the next couple of weeks and also over the summer.

Bandcamp News – New Single Release; Cozy (GNL Remixes)

BANDCAMP NEWS

24/05/2023 - New Single Release; Cozy (GNL Remixes)

It’s been a while since I did a free download, so I decided to make a single from Beyonce’s latest track off her album Renaissance and my favourite on that album, Cozy. I was inspired after listening to someone else’s remix and that was titled Cozy in 1994 it was a dance track right on point actually with all the right stuff on the track but that lead me to want to make my own track and I thought I do a couple of versions from House, Jungle/Drum & Bass, UK Funky and UK Garage all in club style as the track I heard was very 90s club scene and I love my club scene. I like Cozy as it says a lot and the beat is infectious something I could dance to even though the beat is kind of slowish but at a reasonable speed. Quick thoughts on the album well it’s not over-hyped and I enjoyed it apart from one or two tracks that were more ballads and something I don’t really like that much but I do appreciate the singing. Being comfortable in your own skin is very important and love starts within which means you have to love yourself more than you love the people around you in some ways as being comfortable with who you are and what you are about is more important than material things and even self appearance even though it is good to look after all the above but being secure within yourself leads to a happier and fuller you, not a shell in the corner worried about this and that cos at the end of the day hanging around get’s you nowhere in life which is something I have to tell myself that and doing it right now. Being content is also good but saying that you can’t be too cosy within your surroundings is good to step out of the box every now and then and try something new and wild. I can’t remember the last wild thing I did but I feel like I want to do something with my newfound confidence anything is better than staying in all day and I love to get out and see life but the last decade or two I haven’t been feeling myself but I feel like I’m getting better and am looking for new stuff to try and do cos as they say you have plenty time to rest when you die and hopefully my time is not soon but you never know. Summer is just around the corner and I might actually get out a lot more if it’s not too hot to go out but I wanted to go to London again I haven’t been for years and would be good to go out and have a bit of fun for the day. The last time I went was in 2011 when I went on a day trip I went to London’s Dungeon and The London Bridge Experience it was so fun lol I was lauging all day with the jokes we was having.

Music News – New EP; Just Another Day

23/05/2023 - New EP; Just Another Day

Getting ready for the summer with a 4 track House EP called Just Another Day as at the moment my life is quite boring and not have much activity apart from doing the music and making various stuff which I have put all on this site. I’ve said this a few times but life in the 90s and 00s was a lot more fun and there were a lot of things to join and do, now with all the funding cutting and the multiple disasters including the terrorist attacks life has changed quite a lot but we seem to go back and forth at the moment with stances and various of groups joining and declaring themselves x, y, z but hey that’s a different story. As always I don’t know what I’m doing this summer I want to get out more and I haven’t got a dog and so I barely get out, to be honest, I went out the other day and it wasn’t that long of a journey around 20 minutes on foot but walking up the hill on the way back I was so tired but I was glad when I got back. It reminds me of the days I used to go on two to five hours walks sometimes all night I once walked from Bristol my home town to Wales and they had Welsh signs and that night was a long one and my feet were hurting like crazy and I woke up with my back of my legs feeling numb I wasn’t on anything lol but I love walking in the night time when it’s quiet and it gets the dog out and I used to enjoy walking but now not so much but I will one day.  But yes who knows what I’ll do this summer I’ll definitely be making more summery tracks like House, Chillout and other summer tracks I might even do some reggae but definitely some more Jungle/Drum and Bass as I seem to make a lot of that and that all can be found on my Beatport page I’ll post the link below the player where it always is. Thanks to the people who are buying and streaming the tracks on a variety of platforms,  I’ve nearly earned £11.00 and have been getting quite a lot of streams on YouTube Music I hope you like the tracks and thanks for your support it means a lot to me since I am a one band man and do my own fancy moves. I will be making more synthy stuff as well but don’t know when though who knows.

Music News – New EP Release; 6 Pack Remixes I

15/03/2023 - New EP; 6 Pack Remixes I

Another House mini-album of remixes from some of the songs I made that was House, Jungle/Drum & Bass and synthy stuff. I wasn’t going to release it but I liked the tracks and thought why not so here they are. I do like making remixes and will be doing more remixes in the future as I have lots of files of my songs I can re-edit which is what I like to do. I was going to do another Remix This which is songs of other artists which I remix but I felt like remixing my own as I said I have lots of files I can open up and edit and most of the tracks have been released already at some point but I swapped artist’s name so they aren’t on the internet no more but I am putting up the best ones at some point. I also want to start making singles with the original track remix and two or one other song on there which I will be doing real soon as that is something I enjoy doing and means I can do more tracks which is why I don’t really do albums no more and like EPs and singles as it’s more quicker to do then the albums which take some time to do but to be honest not that much time only a couple days at the max. I called it 6 pack remixes as there are six tracks nothing much to it really but I want to make songs more on steroids but it does take more time to make outstanding tracks but I like them to be honest. Some of the original tracks can be found on my Bandcamp page and can be downloaded for free but I went for the ones I liked not the ones I rereleased so they are random really. I remember the days I was fit and had a six-pack and always was toned I mean I’m not fat just a bit flabby and I was a gymnast at some point when I was younger but now I’m a smoker and sit at home all day on my computer which isn’t good for the heart but I do walk quick so when I walk they say it’s more of a slow jog but it get’s me there more quicker .

Music News – New EP Release; All Said & Done

09/03/2023 - New EP; All Said And Done

A House EP or it’s more like a single as there are three tracks. It’s Tech House, House with a bit of Deep House which is the last track on the single. I didn’t really intend to do a single and it was going to be an EP but I couldn’t be bothered to do the last track, I should start making more singles but with more remixes and the original track as I enjoy making remixes with the original track which I’ve done a few times now. I haven’t made Tech House for while now and the last track was in 2017 when I started making music again as I was making music in the mid-2000s but in 2017 I bought FL Studio and a sample pack which is all that I had at the start now I have lots of stuff like synth plugins, drums, and also stuff to improve the sound like EQ filters and hardware filters to scope the sound. I like to buy synth plugins and other plugins and even though they are quite expensive it’s always worth it just as long as they don’t break down also updating them takes some time which is why I don’t really update them that much. When it’s all said and done it’s all down to you or though it’s cool to rely on people I think only you can look after yourself and it’s important to rely on yourself and most importantly keep yourself happy and focused only you can do that and relying on people to keep you happy shouldn’t always be done but spending time by yourself and doing what you want to do should always be put first but having people around is important even though I don’t really need no one as I’m in my own world doing creative stuff and keeping busy with stuff I enjoy doing which is a lot of things actual but all creative stuff. 

Music News – New EP Release; Raver’s Anonymous

March 7, 2023

MUSIC NEWS

07/03/2023 - New EP Release; Raver's Anonymous

An Acid House EP with one Acid House with Break music track which is the first track on the EP. I was lucky as I noticed on all the junk I bought or all the junk I use IE synths I noticed I had the TB-303 plugin which is the Acid Line plugin and the hardware is made by the music company Roland for those who didn’t know or don’t know what the TB-303 is but to sum it up it makes acid house music and was the chosen instrument for people who made House music and also Techno in the late 80’s to the mid-90s where by around 1995 music had moved and changed again into more soulful stuff or it was around me. Out of the 80s and 90s, I do prefer 80s Acid House and I like the fact they only used it in parts, not in the whole song like most 90s Acid House where people just wanted to hear the B line with the drums and vocals over it but they would do with just the instrumental as people loved to hear the new sound or new at the time sound the sound of the TB-303. It is a shame the illegal raves circuit is no more and is now illegal to have a rave say on a field, for example, I would love for it to still be around as I would be out a lot more but ah that’s life or is it Bistro. The closet I got to a field rave was what I would call the hometown Glastonbury Festival but it still brought in some big DJs and names as this is Bristol you never know what’s happening but it’s been quiet for me for over a decade now I need to get out more and live a little it’s boring being stuck in doors all day.
